Going the next Quarter Mile...

Depending on exactly how much you have to go thru you might look at some of the 900Mhz data radios out there.. they penetrate obsticals alot better.

Thanks Adair...I browsed the net and am suffering sticker shock :)....

$1000/pair of 900mhz data radios seems to be typical...am I looking in the wrong place?

Can you go around using two hops.

Perhaps a repeater at mid-point?

900MHz has it's own collection of problems. I've had quite a bit of experience dealing with the long dead Metricom/Ricochet 900MHz radios. 900MHz will go quite nicely through a forest. It will NOT go through a building, brick wall, or hill side. NLOS is science fiction.

Maxstream and Freewave radios have about 100Kbits/sec max thruput. They are intended primarily for SCADA and data telemetry, not ISP service. I suspect you might find this a bit slow.

For more speed and something more suitable, see:

(WaveRider) The Waverider hardware was originally designed for long range ISP service in forested areas.

You won't like the prices.

One 900MHz AP and two clients for only $3,000.
